Identifies and shows examples of the three classes of coelenterates: Hydrozona, Scyphozoa, and Anthozoa. Pictures the hydra as a general representative of the phylum, describing it in detail and viewing experimentally its reaction to the chemical glutathione. Views reproduction in hydra. Concludes that coelenterates are the simplest animals to have tissues, and thought they appear to be peaceful animals, they are always attempting to feed. With help from Ralph Buchsbaum.
